Casino Tokens Make the Perfect Vegas Wedding Favor!

What do people do in Vegas besides weddings? The gamble! How about a bag of some nickel tokens for the slots at the closest casino? Seems a little tacky right? Well, you're in Vegas for your wedding, and Las Vegas is all about the tacky. I mean they try to dress it up but it's still a big neon playground for adults. It seems like the perfect wedding favor for Las Vegas. You could also give quarter tokens or even dollar tokens depending on your budget. You could put them in a little mesh bag like people do with candy, or even find a little bag with dollar signs on it from the party store. It's the gift that screams "Las Vegas wedding favor!"

Real Casino Tokens as Vegas Wedding Favors

Be aware though, that a lot of places don't like large amounts of their tokens taken from the premises, and either way those tokens can only be used at that casino.  Of course they won't mind if all your guests come back to their slots to do their gambling will they?   Not all casinos offer denominations of smaller than a dollar.  If they don't the simple solution is to buy generic tokens from the net. 

Their are plenty of places that you can order generic tokens for home slot machines.  They can be made of metal or plastic, and come in a variety of sizes with a variety of denomination.  These tokens are fairly inexpensive and usually be ordered in lots smaller than 100.  If you want something personalized, you'll probably pay more than using an actual token as a wedding favor.  The reason is that the company must make a special die to strike your coins and you'll have to order in large lots.  Usually the fewest you can get is 1000.  Look around and you may be able to find them cheaper though.

Customized Wedding Favors

If you still want to go with the personalized token, you can get plastic tokens for much less.  They can have a shiny metal look, or they can be different colors.  You won't have to order as many and the set up fee will be cheaper depending on the style that you get.  If you wanted to have a Vegas wedding theme without going to Vegas you could use these with some home slot machines at the reception just for fun.  Throw a specially marked coin into the machine and have a special prize for the guest that gets it.  There's plenty of ways to have fun with your Vegas wedding favors!
